The Punjab region of India sent more than 600,000 combatants to assist the British war effort during World War I. Their families back home, thousands of miles from the major scenes of battle, were desperate for war news, and newspapers provided daily reports to keep the local population up-to-date with developments on the Western Front. This book presents the first English-language translations of hundreds of articles published during World War I in the newsapers of the Punjab region. They offer a lens into the anxieties and aspirations of Punjabis, a population that committed resources, food, labour as well as combatants to the British war effort. Amidst a steadily growing field of studies on World War I that examine the effects of the war on colonial populations, War News in India makes a unique and timely contribution.

Soon after the guns in Belgium and France had signalled the commencement of what would become the world's single most destructive conflict to date, the British, Ottoman, German, Russian, Austro-Hungarian, French and Belgian Empires were at war. Empires in World War I marks a turn away from the pre-eminence of the Western Front in the current scholarship, and seeks to reconstitute our understanding of this war as a truly global struggle between competing empires. Based on primary research, this book opens up new debates on the effects of the Great War in colonial arenas. The book assesses the effects of the war on Native Americans in the United States for example, as well as on the relationship between India and Pakistan, the British justice system in Palestine and the 'imperial scramble' in the Asia-Pacific region. Empires in World War I will be essential reading for students and scholars of the twentieth century.

Using translated Indian newspapers and reports on the Indian press created by British civil servants, this book investigates why World War One was a watershed moment in the history of British colonial rule in India, and South Asia more generally.This rich and under-utilised archive of newspapers demonstrates that India was awash with commentary about World War One from the moment Britain declared war with Germany in 1914, and charts the gradual change in attitude towards the conflict itself, as well as India’s future relationship with Britain, amongst contemporary readers and writers. While established scholarship considers the fact that World War One spelt the end for the British Empire and India’s position within it as an established truth, this book uses newspapers and civil servant reports to ask why, and how this came to be. Offering a detailed reading of archival sources, this book links India’s path to independence with reports of heavy Indian casualties in the Middle East, stalemate on the Western Front, and demands for increased autonomy in Britain’s other colonies. It also answers important questions; what was it like trying to follow the war’s events in wartime India? What developments mattered to Indian newspaper editors and their readers? What debates did the war engender? What did people in India do with the news they consumed? In doing so, it recovers marginalised voices within histories of World War One, helping to decentre a euro-centric approach and build a clearer picture of experiences of this conflict across the Empire.
